Rashida ji Nice depiction of different aspects of plant. I wish we have more and more uploads with similar details. In Delhi I have seen it flowering from atleast April till now, though it is not as profuse as it was in May-July. Also I have never seen it as upright shrub, mostly seen it as woody climber on walls and fences.
